A carefully selected Bach mouthpiece can help improve a player's embouchure, attack, tonguing and endurance.

Vincent Bach was a rare combination of artist and engineer. A mechanical genius and acclaimed trumpet soloist, his instruments and mouthpieces are used today in every major studio and orchestra in the world. Bach personally designed the tools and composed the plans that continue to set the high standards for making all Bach products today.

"Choosing the perfect mouthpiece is often more difficult than choosing the perfect instrument. Your success as a musician depends on the choice of equipment that will do justice to your capabilities."

* Bach fluegelhorn mouthpieces are regularly stocked in those model numbers marked with an asterisk in the chart (all other standard Bach trumpet rim sizes are available on special order). They have identical rims, but deeper, fluegelhorn-style cups, a larger throat and backbore. The deeper cups produce a dark tone of lyric quality. Their fundamental component is intense; the upper partials are reduced to a minimum. Do not attempt to play fluegelhorn with a refitted cornet or trumpet mouthpiece as you will be more likely to play out of tune and not get the rich sound characteristic of the fluegelhorn.

Recent order. Great price and fast service. I have been trying a lot of differant moutpieces. For come back players and normal to thin lips. This is a great m. p. Comparable to a 4B Sparx cornet m. p. in sound. But a lot cheaper. It plays well on cornets that take long shank mouthpieces.Also for those who do not do well on the larger m. p.'s 16.5MM to 17.00MM. If this is your situation. A 6BM bach should cover most of your playing with a 10 1/2C bach for a back up for bright and real high playing. Good luck.
